Bag of Bibles

Dan Britton

Ready: 

It is the same with my Word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit.  It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. Isaiah 55:11

Set:

When I was eight years old, my grandfather, Pop, took me to the airport to hand out Bibles. Pop shared with me that there was a right way and a wrong way to hand out Bibles. He said to never ask, “Do you want a Bible?” Rather, he trained me to say, “I have a gift for you. I would like for you to have a Bible.” Not a question, but instead an invitation to receive God’s Word.

I was ready to go. After two hours of giving God’s Word to strangers as gifts, I was surprised I wasn’t mocked, ridiculed or humiliated. Instead, I learned first-hand the incredible power of God’s Word being given as a gift to bless others. I don’t think a single person said no. Maybe it was Pop’s training or that I was an 8-year old boy. Either way, it was used for God’s purposes.

Go:

1. Do you have a passion for God’s Word? Do you have a passion to distribute God’s Word to teammates and coaches? If so, how?
2. How can you creatively use FCA Bibles and Bible resources to impact your team?
3. What does it mean in Isaiah 55:11 that God’s Word will always produce fruit? How can this fruit impact your team?

Workout:

Psalm 19:7

Hebrews 4:12

2 Timothy 3:16-17

Overtime

Help me to have a passion for Your Word and a desire to distribute Your Word to those in my life. We ask that Your Word will prosper everywhere it goes. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
